Fab App – iBreviary
I didn’t know what a breviary was until Hil introduced the iBreviary to me. For those who are as ignorant as I am, a breviary is basically a collection of official Catholic liturgical rites containing the public prayers, hymns, the Psalms, readings, and notations for everyday use.Set in a simple user-friendly layout, the complete missal and principal Catholic prayers are available in Spanish, French, Latin, Italian, and English. Talk about staying ahead of the times. My favourite and most frequently used function of the iBreviary is the mass readings which can be refreshed daily with a simple touch of the button.
Created by Fr Paolo Padrini, an Italian priest who runs a popular website called Passi nel deserto, the iBreviary is the first app that has been approved by the Vatican. Now how cool is that?
The app costs $0.99 from iTunes but the fulfilment of a faithful praying Christian is priceless.
